GPA: 3.57 overall end of junior year will most likely rise to 3.7 + senior year

Junior Year GPA: 3.75+
Senior year GPA: 4.0+

First two years gpa was lower and as time went on I improved significantly especially junior year. Went from 3.32 to 3.75+ GPA in one year

Extremely competitive public school : You have to apply for AP classes.Your AP application is reviewed by a committee and then a decision is made. Top students go into top schools (all the ivies)

Rising grades

4 A.P. Courses (out of 13): U.S. History, U.S. Gov + Pol, Spanish, Computer Science

The most a.p's I have heard someone take is 8. This includes EVERYBODY (yes the ivy people too)

Will get an A in A.P. U.S. History

SAT: 1350

SAT II: Writing 640
SAT II: U.S. History (Don't ask)

Class Rank: 3rd decile (no exact rank) could be top 25% although it would still read 3rd decile

Great E.C's + teacher recommendations + brilliant essay

One rec from A.P. History teacher

One rec from business teacher (this could be potentially great as he is my FBLA advisor and teacher for APCS and Business Managment)

My e.c's are few but I enjoyed them and that is why I pursued them for so long
